Description Benjamin Collins 2005-01-28 23:15:59 UTC

I apologize for this, but I've already lost the output of the failed compile.  The error occurred on lines 352 and 353 of cmdoptns.cpp.  GCC complained that it's illegal to have an array index right after a type-id with parens around it, so I have a patch here that fixes that for GCC 3.4.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.
2.
3.

This bug still exists, can someone put that patch in portage please?

Here's the output of the failed compile:

Seriously guys, this bug was reported in JANUARY with a successful patch to fix
it. It is now SEPTEMBER and the patch has not been included into portage. WTF?

Just had the same problem, grep'ed through /usr/portage for commonc++, and guess
what: _Nothing_ depends on commonc++-*. Just move on to commoncpp2, it compiles
cleanly with gcc3.4. I will file a bug and ask for removal of commonc++-*. Cheers!

Ok, we'll take this over to bug 115707.
